How to Wake Up

Enlightenment

Introduction: Follow the following instructions for how to wake up each morning to ensure a lovely day. Allow yourself to awaken naturally. Don’t force yourself to wake up. Sometimes a bird’s whistle can lull you alert, or a slight bump. Once you are roused, don’t move just yet. Lie still. Be calm and relaxed. Step by step, do the technique below:

1. Slowly open your eyes wide and allow them to focus on your surroundings. Take in every aspect of your room being careful to take note of everything that is beautiful and makes you smile instantly. (Make note to change anything that does not make you smile instantly or looks beautiful to you immediately.)

2. Rub the crust of sleep off your eyelids, carefully remove the crust from each corner that has built up overnight and threatens to obscure your sight. This will enable you to truly see the beauty that surrounds you enough to fix what needs to be changed by your immediate environment.

3. Yawn by opening your mouth so as to clear your throat, get a good gulp of air through your passage ways and breath very deeply (If necessary, get a good air purifier to clean the air so you are not swallowing dust). Continue breathing deeply as in a meditative state.

4. Lie there and be very still. Let your body become acclimated to the stillness and quietness of your existence in the midst of your space. In this moment, realize your surroundings, every color, every smell, every feeling and every sound. Allow the physicality of them all to become one with you. You are your environment and your environment is you.

5. Let your mind roam once you have achieved this connection. Allow it to explore every crevice of your psyche and continue relaxing. Sink deeper and deeper into that realm of ultimate relaxation and visualize whatever you want to achieve for the day. Breathe slowly with each thought and sink deeper into relaxation. Let nothing deter you from this endeavor.

6. Continue to contemplate your day, your life as you lie there and focus on the next steps. Ask yourself these questions: What do you want to accomplish, how are you going to bring it to fruition, what if any help do you need, are you in the right place to bring it to pass emotionally, financially and physically.

7. If you find that you lack answers to any of those questions, start working to obtain whatever you need to satisfy your quest for responses.

8. Once you have settled on the next steps, all before leaving your bed, you are ready to get out of bed and start your day.

9. Stand up and stretch your neck and back. Bend backwards and forwards and side-to-side paying close attention not to overextend in any direction.

10. While stretching your arms, put your left arm across your chest and gently pull. Take your right arm and place it across your chest and gently pull. Be careful not to pull to hard. Drop your arms to your sides and shake them vigorously. Stand there and let your arms relax, taking deep breaths.

11. Once you have finished with your arms, stretch your legs. Start with your right leg and slowly bend it back and forth 5 times and stretch it to the side pointing your toes upward and flex them one-by-one. Next, repeat this step with the left leg.

12. Standing straight, bend forward and touch your toes. Be sure to keep you legs straight. Stand up and take a deep breath and exhale. Take another deep breath and exhale again. Repeat this step 4 more times.

13. In the final step to waking up, stretch your mind. Let it go beyond the realm of the self-imposed limitations of your physical space, mind, body and room. Open up every part of it that was previously closed so that all that you want to achieve is achievable. No boundaries remain because you have properly awaken using every clean, available technique to clear yourself and become enlightened…say ah!!!!!!!!!!
